eZediaMX Reviews
The Kleper Report on Digital Publishing, Issue 7.2 March / April 2002
eZediaMX version 3.0 (MAC/WIN)
eZediaMX 3.0 provides a multimedia authoring environment that is certainly among the easiest to use, yet among the most sophisticated for creating projects that incorporate digital video, graphics, animation, sound, MP3s, VRs and text. It requires no programming nor scripting. It is appropriate for producing interactive business presentations, digital portfolios, storyboards, product demos, training systems and educational media.
The program is very intuitive and easily learned. All media elements are simply dragged and dropped onto the eZedia workspace. The user "wires" objects, such as a button and a movie, by creating a link between them. Buttons can be "programmed" to perform any of several actions such as starting the movie, muting it, or stopping it. Even seemingly complex effects, such as playing two movies, one over the other, is easily done by dragging them both onto a frame, and adjusting the transparency of the front-most movie.
The eZedia Web site provides a complete tutorial of basic operations as well as examples of presentations spanning a variety of fields. Completed projects can be viewed using the free cross-platform player. $239
